Patient's question:
The other day, I felt a bit easily tired and thought it was a cold caused by catching a cold. I took some vitamin pills and didn't pay much attention to it. Yesterday morning, when I went to bed, I washed my face and looked in the mirror and noticed that my left face was, and my mouth was drooping. I immediately went to see a doctor, who said I had facial paralysis. What kind of help do you need: What are the signs before facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is caused by a viral invasion of the facial nerve. Most cases are triggered by exposure to cold. Before the onset of the condition, there is often a sense of numbness in the face, and some may also experience dizziness and nausea. If the facial nerve is paralyzed, it is important to pay attention to protecting the face from cold. External application of blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving ointments can be helpful. Antiviral medications and drugs that nourish the facial nerve are also necessary. The prognosis is generally favorable for most cases. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
